By Design.

I'm Nate. I spent the last seven years building a globally-recognized brand from the inside out — social, film, editorial, athlete partnerships, and everything in between. Now I bring that same level of strategic and creative thinking to brands and people who care about doing it right. If you want work that moves people and moves the needle, you're in the right place.

Who We Are

One Part Brand Director.
One Part Adventure.

Skypilot is a wildflower that only blooms above 10,000 feet. You have to earn the altitude to ever see one. That's the idea behind the name — and the work.

I'm a skier, mountain biker, fly fisherman, and climber who's stood on the summit of both the Grand Teton and Mount Moran. Adventure is central to who I am and how I live life. I bring that same energy, curiosity, and commitment to everything I create.

Skypilot is Nate Berenson's studio. I'm a brand strategist, content director, and film producer based in Jackson, Wyoming. I work with small businesses, outdoor industry brands, filmmakers, and individual clients who need more than a vendor — they need a creative and strategic partner who's ready for anything.

I spent seven years at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort building their brand from the inside out — growing the largest combined social media audience of any ski resort in the world, driving over 450 million impressions and 250 million video views, managing an athlete roster including Jimmy Chin, Kai Jones, Cam Zink, and 6x Olympians, and producing films that earned attention well beyond the mountains. That depth of experience is what I bring to every client — the strategy, the craft, and the drive to make it matter.

How We Work

The Process

Every project starts with a real conversation. I want to understand where you are, where you want to go, and what matters most to you along the way. That context shapes everything.

From there, I build a strategy around your specific goals — something designed for your brand, your audience, and your moment. Then I execute — with precision, creative instinct, and genuine investment in the outcome.

You'll always know what we're working on and why. I'm a communicator by nature, and I believe the best creative partnerships are built on trust, transparency, and genuine collaboration.

Discovery Call

We get to know each other. I learn about your business, your goals, and what success looks like for you. No pitch — just a real conversation.

Strategy + Proposal

I deliver a clear scope of work, timeline, and creative direction built specifically around what you need.

Create + Execute

I build, shoot, write, and run — with regular check-ins and genuine enthusiasm for the work we're doing together.

Measure + Evolve

Every month, we review performance together and refine our approach. The best work gets better over time.
